■When the freezer is first started, the compressor will run constantly
until the freezer is cooled. It may take up to 6 or 8 hours (or longer),
depending on room temperature and number of times the freezer
door is opened. After the freezer is cooled, the compressor will turn
on and off as needed to keep the freezer at the proper temperature.
■The outside of your freezer may feel warm. This is normal. The
freezer’s design and main function is to remove heat from packages
and airspace inside the freezer. The heat is transferred to the room
air, making the outside of the freezer feel warm.
Adjusting Control
If you need to adjust the temperature in the freezer compartment, press
the TEMP SETTING button to display the desired temperature setting
from Cold to Coldest.
NOTE: Except when starting the freezer, do not adjust the control more
than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours between adjustments for the
temperature to stabilize.
Cooling On/Off
Your freezer will not cool when cooling is turned off.
To turn cooling off, press and hold the TEMP SETTING button for
3 seconds. In the off condition, none of the lights on the control panel
will be illuminated. The main freezer light bulb will still operate.
To turn cooling on, press and hold the TEMP SETTING button for
3 seconds. When cooling is on, the control panel lights will be
illuminated.
Fast Freeze
Use this feature before adding large amounts of unfrozen food. For the
best food quality, do not exceed 3 lbs (1,361 g) per cu. ft (28.32 L) of
freezer space.
To activate Fast Freeze, press the TEMP SETTING button until all the
indicator light positions are illuminated simultaneously.
The freezer will remain in the Fast Freeze setting for 24 hours after the
extra-low temperature is reached. Once the time has expired, the
freezer will return to the previous temperature setting. Fast Freeze may
be manually turned off by pressing the TEMP SETTING button to select
the desired temperature setting from Cold to Coldest.
Over Temperature Alert (on some models)
The Over Temperature Alert lets you know if the freezer temperature
has risen to 19°F (-7°C) or higher. This alert feature will sound a
continuous alert tone and repeatedly flash a red light on the control
panel. The tone can be turned off by pressing the TEMP SETTING
button on the control panel once. As you press the TEMP SETTING
button, the red light will then also change from flashing to continuously
illuminated. The red light will remain illuminated until the freezer
temperature falls below 19°F (-7°C).
NOTE: If the red light on the control panel is repeatedly flashing, but the
alert tone is not sounding, this means that an over temperature
condition has occurred but the freezer temperature has since returned
to below 19°F (-7°C). To turn off the red light indicator for this condition,
press the TEMP SETTING button on the control panel once.
Door Ajar Alarm (on some models)
The Door Ajar alarm lets you know when the freezer door has been
open for 5 minutes or longer and the cooling is turned on. This alarm
feature will sound an alert tone that will repeat every 2 minutes. Close
the door to turn off the tone. The feature is reset and will reactivate
when the door is again left open for 5 minutes.
NOTE: To mute the alert tone while keeping the door open, such as
while cleaning the inside of the freezer, press TEMP SETTING button
on the control panel. The alert tone will be temporarily turned off.
Key Eject Lock (on some models)
To lock or unlock the freezer, you must hold the key in the lock while
turning. The lock is spring loaded, so the key cannot be left in the lock.
If the key is lost, contact your dealer for a replacement. Always give the
model and serial number of your freezer when requesting a
replacement key.
NOTE: Keep the key out of the reach of children. Do not keep the key
close to the freezer/refrigerator.
Freezer Features
This manual covers several different models. The freezer you have
purchased may have some or all of the items listed. The locations of the
features may not match those of your model.
Freezer Shelves
Store similar foods together and adjust the shelves to fit different
heights. This reduces the time the freezer door is open and saves
energy.
To Remove and Replace a Shelf:
1. Remove the shelf by lifting straight up, and pulling the shelf out.
2. Replace the shelf by lowering the shelf onto the supports on the
side wall.
